168/200

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really cute, quick read. Moose is a young boy living on Alcatraz in the early 1900's. His sister, Nat, has a mental disorder, that appears would now be called autism, or something like it. The warden on the island is constantly giving Moose's family a hard time because of Nat. Moose asks Al Capone, a prisoner on Alcatraz, to get Natalie into a special school. Capone does this, but asks for favors in return through the laundry that the cons do for the citizens of Alcatraz. As you can imagine, trouble is soon to follow.
